Chapter 182: One Hundred and Eight Generals of the Eastern Tiger

Qin Chuan walked towards the county government and thought about environmental issues.

That's a big problem.

He knew that a long time ago, the northwest region was not a loess patch, but was lush and full of woods.

But starting from the Qin State, Chang'an City and Luoyang City have successively become the capitals of various dynasties, and the princes and princes in this place will be as many as cows' hair, and the dignitaries and nobles need a lot of wood to build a house, and the emperor needs a lot of wood to build a palace, so they began to cut wood.

A certain prince died, and a big tomb was going to be built, and that piece of forest was cut down because it hindered feng shui.

When the emperor died, a bigger tomb had to be built, and the wood of that mountain had to be cut down.

It was cut down until the Tang Dynasty, and the trees in Shaanxi were all cut down, what should I do?

It's okay, Shanxi has, cut along the Yellow River and the Fen River, the cut wood is thrown directly into the water, tied into a raft, a person stands on it, floats down along the Fen River and the Yellow River, floats to Tongguan and then transports it to Chang'an City, or directly to Luoyang.

As a result, the trees in Shanxi are also cutting down fewer and less.

Although the Luliang Mountains are not as bare as they were in later generations, the mountains along the Fen River and the Lan River, and even near several tributaries, are basically bald.

If you cut them down like this again, it won't take long for them to be completely bald.

However, those woodcutters should be some hard-working bitter haha, these people can't be killed, how good it is to train the mountain army.

……

When I returned to the county office, the leader of the Mu Gang had not yet arrived, but the boss of the East Tiger Gang was there, standing in the public hall and nodding at Qin Chuan with a smile on his face.

Qin Chuan sat down in the hall and looked at him carefully.

This hanging hair looks similar to Luo Da Niu, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a fierce face, but a flattering smile, which looks nondescript.

"Little Lu Donghu, I've seen adults."

Seeing Qin Chuan sitting still, this hanging hair knelt on one knee and actually performed a military general's kneeling salute.

Qin Chuan was a little amused, and asked lightly, "I heard that you want to serve this official?" ”

"Exactly."

Lu Donghu hugged his fists and said: "My lord, the little one is willing to take one hundred and eight generals under his command to serve the adult, before and after the saddle, he will never give up." ”

Qin Chuan twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, just you scoundrels who can only bully the little people and take advantage of the chaos to rob, and you still have a hundred and eight generals?

Are you the deputy marshal of the Governor's Soldiers and Horses, Lu Junyi?

Qin Chuan remained silent, and only said lightly: "I heard that when there was chaos in the city yesterday, there was a group of young people who took advantage of the chaos in the city to rob, not only killing people, but also sleeping with a few women, you are the local head snake, you should know who did it, right?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Lu Donghu immediately banged his head, and wailed in his mouth: "My lord, the little one is trying to shout grievances to you, the adult's subordinates think that those things are done by the one hundred and eight generals under the command of the little one, and they are torturing the little brothers, but ...... But this wasn't the work of the little brothers at all. ”

"The little one saw a few people from the Xihe Gang rushing into a house with their faces covered yesterday, maybe it was those people who did it, please be aware of it."

The corners of Qin Chuan's mouth twitched again, and he couldn't help but stand up and walk in front of Lu Donghu.

"You kid is so bold that even I dare to be blinded."

"The little ones don't dare."

"That's it, the province is wasting words with you, come on, drag this kid down and beat him, beat him harder, and when the rain stops, gather the people in the city, and cut down this kid and his one hundred and eight generals in front of the people of the city.

"Yes."

Several red-clothed attendants strode in, held down Lu Donghu and dragged him out.

"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives...... Little wrong, big man......"

It didn't take long for a scream to be heard outside.

It happened that the leader of the wooden gang brought it, this person's name is Li Sihe, about forty years old, he looks dark and strong, because he was born with mud legs, he relied on the wooden gang to make a fortune, and he was afraid that others would laugh at him, so he deliberately wore a set of gray Confucian robes, which also looked nondescript.

Probably seeing Lu Donghu being beaten, when Li Sihe walked into the court, his legs were so shaky that he almost couldn't stand, and as soon as he entered the court, he knelt on the ground, didn't speak, just kowtowed vigorously.

Qin Chuan was a little funny: "Don't kowtow, get up." ”

But Li Sihe still kowtowed.

Qin Chuan was a little impatient: "I didn't want to kill you, if you don't want to eat the board, get up and talk quickly." ”

"A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life......"

Li Sihe knocked his head a few more times, and then he got up tremblingly.

"You've got a gang of woodmen, right?"

"Yes."

"How many are there?"

"One Hundred ...... One hundred and thirty-seven. ”

"So much?"

Li Sihe thought that he had rebelled against him by having too many wooden gangs, so he knelt on the ground again with a puff.

-->>

Qin Chuan sighed helplessly, and asked again: "You should know Jingle and the other wooden gangs in Lan County, right?" ”

"Recognize, recognize ......"

"Then you listen, from today onwards, no wooden gangs are allowed to appear in the two places of Lan County, all wooden gangs must be disbanded immediately, no one is allowed to cut down trees in these two places, if you want to build houses, make furniture, nail coffins, or make farm tools, you can cut down, but only a small amount, no matter whose family is on the mountain, anyway, it is not allowed to cut down on a large scale."

"Huh?" Li Sihe opened his mouth wide, and he couldn't speak,

If you don't cut down trees, will it soon mean that you will cut off the livelihood of him and the more than 100 wood gangs, as well as the thousands of wood gangs in Jingle Lan County?

Qin Chuan saw what he was thinking, and said: "Don't worry, all the wooden gangs can come and farm with me, and if you are willing to be a soldier, you will enlist in the army to fight, take care of food and housing, and earn a tael of silver a month, which is more than selling coolies with you, right?" ”

"Many, many......"

Li Sihe breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly kowtowed again.

"You go and tell the other wooden gangs in these two places, let them quickly disband all the people, and if you are willing to farm or enlist in the army, you will take them to Lou Fu, and there will naturally be people over there to arrange food and shelter, and they will not be hungry or frozen."

"Tell them that if anyone is disobedient and insists on cutting wood, when I kill the Ming army, I will clean them up, and don't even think about living at that time."

"Don't worry, I won't treat you badly, after doing these things, you can pick one of the Wu family's shops, and it will be regarded as compensation for me to cut off your livelihood and give you, and you will change to other businesses in the future."

"Yes, yes......"

Li Sihe kept kowtowing again.

Qin Chuan was speechless for a while, just like his cowardice, how did he fight with the Eastern Tiger Gang?

"Alright, alright, you go."

"Thank you."

Li Sihe kowtowed a few more times, and then retreated tremblingly.

Qin Chuan shook his head at his back, then got up and walked towards the official room and household room on the east side.

Chen Congzhi was leading a group of officials to sort out the documents, take out all the documents such as households, fields, industrial and commercial properties, and house title deeds, sort them out, and put them for later use.

Qin Chuan told him that after a beheading meeting in a few days, he would check the population of the city again, and wipe out the dead, and the hungry people who had fled in the past few years would be registered.

The houses of those large families that were raided, or the ownerless houses of a certain extinct household, were all under the management of the county government, and a few courtyards would be allocated to the Guan Emperor's army as barracks, and the rest would be put away for later sale.

As for Wu Yongqian's cloth village, the other industries of several other large households will naturally be taken over to Qinchuan and handed over to Luo Wentian to take care of in the future.

Chen Congzhi is a smart person, he never asks why he did this, only put forward some suggestions for doing better, and then obediently did it.

Before coming to the county seat, Wang Jizong mentioned to Qin Chuan that Chen Congzhi is a very talented person, but he loves money and fame.

For Qin Chuan, these two shortcomings are not difficult to solve, under the bright sword, see if he dares to be greedy for money.

As for the false name, he will naturally be grateful to himself in the future.

When he came out of the house, a red-clothed attendant came to report back, saying that Lu Donghu had recruited him, and he was the one who raped the little daughter-in-law in the alley, as well as his seven subordinates, and the husband of the little daughter-in-law was also killed by them.

In addition, they robbed a shop and two houses, robbed seventy taels of silver and more than forty yuan of money, and killed three people.

A few of his recognized subordinates were hiding in the cellar of his house, and Luo Wentian was leading Emperor Guan's army to arrest people.

Qin Chuan confessed to them, carefully interrogated everyone in the Donghu Gang, and then asked the neighbors to come out to identify them, and all those who did evil were locked up and cut down together when the time came.

As for those half-grown children who are only in their teens, let them go, and let them go if they haven't done any bad things, to reflect Lord Qin's clear distinction between good and evil.

Then, Qin Chuan explained to his subordinates that he asked people to build a grass hut on the street in front of the county office, and after setting it up, he gave porridge there, there were many hungry people in the city, and yesterday there was a shortage of soldiers everywhere, and those hungry people should not be able to get food, so he couldn't let anyone starve to death when he came.

At the same time, a large platform should be erected at the vegetable market at the intersection of the streets, ready to be used for beheading.

……

At noon, the people in the city who should be killed were basically arrested, and the city finally stopped jumping chickens and dogs.

Qin Chuan finally had time to sit down and have a good meal of wine and meat with Luo Da Niu, Luo Wentian, Lao Huang Lynx and others.

The wine is lamb wine from Xinghua Village, Fenyang, and there are more than a dozen jars of wine from the Wu family.

While he was drinking, a red-clothed attendant suddenly ran in and said that a group of people, not many in number, only forty or fifty people, had come from outside the city in the rain, saying that they had been entrusted by a big man three thousand miles to the east to negotiate a deal with the big boss.

Qin Chuan was a little puzzled, a big man three thousand miles to the east?

After a moment of confusion, he suddenly frowned.

Isn't it Liaodong three thousand miles east from here?

Who else is the big man in Liaodong besides Huang Taiji?
